Review: Sony a7R II Camera

Posted 2 years, 5 months ago

Digital SLR cameras ignited a revolution in photography and video production when they first hit the market, but now lighter mirrorless cameras are looking to shake up the market again.

Jakob Schiller of Outside Magazine has a review of the new Sonly a7R II camera:

"Mirrorless cameras have been nipping at the heels of DSLRs for years now, but they hadn’t surpassed them because of their limited functionality. Something was always wrong: Maybe the focus was too slow, or maybe the mirrorless options struggled in low light. That all changed with the $3,199 Sony a7R II. This camera doesn’t just match some top-shelf DSLRs—it actually bests them.

This is the first mirrorless camera that truly challenges, and in some ways overtakes, the powerhouse DSLRs that pro outdoor shooters have relied on for years. You get the functionality of a camera like the Canon 5D Mark III packed into a significantly smaller body."
